A 13-year-old kid called Jordan Romero began to climb the worlds highest mountain, Mount Everest. Accompanied by his father, stepmother and a team of sherpas and yaks that helped carry their 4,400 pounds of gear. He's father, Paul Romero said that it required technical climbing in tough weather conditions. The kid says that its a tough mountain and that its very hard. He is learning a lot about culture and people of China and Nepal.


We think that this kid has a lot of courage to do this. He is very brave to be doing that at his age. The kid must be very strong because not every teen does this. It is very shocking that a kid with such age can climb a mountain with such height. We hope that he reaches this goal he has.
